Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Clements, MN, was out at a rental property one day when he noticed one of the basement walls was bowing significantly. He didn't want to risk the safety of the home for his tenants, so he decided to find a foundation repair specialist in Minnesota. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Eric H, headed out to the home. 

When Eric arrived, he was directed to the basement, and he began his inspection. When he completed, he met with the homeowner. He began by saying that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from above, not the side. So when the pressure on the side of the wall exceeds what the wall can withstand, it's not uncommon to see cracking or bowing. Eric went on to say that while the issue sounds daunting, there is a simple fix. Eric recommended the installation of several of our C-Channel earth anchors. He explained that these anchors counteract the bowing wall by anchoring it to the hard-packed, undisturbed soil beyond the foundation, providing a permanent solution for bowing, buckling, tilting, or inward-moving foundation walls. The homeowner liked the sound of Eric's plan and scheduled the job on the spot. 

When the project day rolled around, our Foreman, Jeremiah and his crew arrived bright and early at home. They wasted no time getting started, and after a long day, they had effortlessly installed 5 of our C-Channel anchors in the basement of the home. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his rental property's foundation has been stabilized! 

A homeowner in Trimont, MN had cracked foundation walls in their basement so they called American Waterworks to set up a Free Estimate after browsing our website. We sent out our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen, to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After a clear and comfortable inspection, the homeowner went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew began the installation by digging holes outside of the home and putting a metal rod in each hole and installed our Wall Anchor System. Wall anchors extend out to the soil past the house, anchor themselves there, and strengthen the foundation wall, while also preventing any inward movement. To complete the installation, Juan and his production team filled the holes, replaced all the soil, and made sure the homeowner was happy! 

A homeowner in Trimont, MN, felt it was time to have their basement inspected due to the concerning cracks growing along their walls. Since the homeowner has done work with us in the past, they felt comfortable calling our Appointment Center and signing up for their FREE estimate. After the FREE estimate was set, we sent one of our Service Technicians, Edgar, to investigate the status of the wall. When Edgar arrived, he met with the homeowner and then took a look at the wall. Edgar determined that the wall was showing early signs of wall failure. To stop the failure from continuing, Edgar recommended they install GeoLocks to permanently stabilize. Knowing this was the best option, Edgar agreed and the solution was directed to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew traveled to begin the stabilization process. Upon arrival, they made sure the basement was cleared and ready for production. Then, the crew began installing five GeoLocks along the south wall. The homeowner requested that the tightening kit also be included in the job, so they could gradually straighten the wall over time. When the crew finished the GeoLock installation, they cleaned up the site and left the home. The homeowners were pleased with the excellent work completed by the crew.

A homeowner from Argusville, ND was beginning to notice her floor was starting to bow. Because she knew there was a crawl space below, she had concerns about the structural integrity of the home. When she called in, we set her up with our FREE estimate, and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to assess the damage. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was able to make recommendations as to how we could help. Kole wanted to use our SmartJacks to address the bowing wood in the crawl space. He explained that our SmartJacks are unique in that they are made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel. Because your system will not develop rust, it will remain adjustable for years, should you need to perform future adjustments. The homeowner agreed with the recommendations and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Zach, and his team work diligently to install 8 of our SmartJacks throughout the space. Once the job was completed, our customer was happy to know that she no longer had to worry about the strength and safety of her crawl space. 

In Fargo, ND, a homeowner noticed cracks in their foundation walls. Knowing the importance of a stable foundation to prevent wall failure, the homeowner began looking for foundation repair contractors in the area and found us. Impressed by our 5-star reviews, the homeowner decided to contact us and schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Ian S., arrived at the home for a thorough inspection. During the inspection, Ian took a close look at the foundation, taking note of where the cracks were located. The homeowner also expressed concerns about their sidewalk. Ian then took a close look and figured out which needed to be stabilized. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Ian began working on a detailed solution. To stabilize the foundation, Ian recommended installing GeoLock, our wall anchor system that channels the force from the walls to stable soil several feet away from the foundation. To lift the concrete, Ian recommended using PolyLevel, our foam-expanding solution that lifts uneven slabs, and NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant to seal the joints. After looking over the proposal, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Matt Z., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew successfully installed 16 GeoLock wall anchors. Then, in about a week, our Foreman, Charlie C., and his crew arrived to live and level the concrete.
